THE LOAN FUND.
Minister Green presented an answer to
resolution passed the previous day. 1t was
read by Minister Brown, as follows:
Hon. S. G. Wilder, President of the Leg
islative Assembly-SIR: In reply to the
resolution asking if the 100000 of bonds
have been sold in London to actual invest
ors in whole or in part, or whether they are
still i'll the possession of the syndicate,
have the honor to reply that, to the best of
my knowledge and belief, all said bonds
have been sold to actual investors and that
they are not now in the possession of the
syndicate.
The following is an extract from letter
dated London, August 9th, from Mr.. II.
r. Armstrong to me:
d" In the meantime there is one pOintupon
which l think | ought to offer an explana-
ton to your Excellency-viz., that the ques-
ton between the Hawaiian Government
and the holders of the bonds is now quite
distinct from the syndicate, whose func-
tiOns ceased entirely when the loan was
issued to the British public, not one mem
Der of the syndicate having an allotment of
bonds specially made to him. The ques-
ton now at issue as to the delivery of the
bonds lies between your Excellency's Gov
eminent and the public here, and it is this
alteration in the position of matters that
makes the question of the bonds of such
vital Importance to the credit of the Ha'
Waiian Government"
Mr. G. w. Macfarlane's report which &C
cOmpanied mine, explains fully that it is
rule of the London Stock Exchange that no
member of the syndicate that floats loan
shall have any bonds allotted to him, unless
the whole amount to be issued is not sub
scribed for by the public. In this case the
whole 9200 900 was sold to the public. l
have received other evidence that these
statements are substantially correct. Re-
specially submitted. w. l.. GREEN.
Noble Baldwin moved the statement be
